Merger proposal[edit]

Propose to merge Fort Robinson article into this new article on Fort Robinson plus the Red Cloud Agency. The combined article is needed to explain the National Historic Landmark. Fort Robinson should be a (large) section. Propose to implement the merge so as to save the longer edit history of the Fort Robinson article, by actually merging new material from here to there, and then getting an administrator's help to rename/move the merged article to here. doncram (talk) 17:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The articles should be merged, but in the other direction. "Fort Robinson" is a simpler article title, is what the location is universally referred to by, and the NHL listing details make more sense in the context of the broader article, not the other way 'round. – Swid ^{(talk · edits)} 18:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, if there is a merger, Ft. Robinson should be the main article, with this new "Ft. Robinson and Red Cloud Agency" being a portion of the main article... a historical context, if you will —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrickdf (talk • contribs) 03:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

Photos and/or photo uploads are needed.

HABS or HAER photos may be available for this site. Search HABS/HAER here
Most of photos accompanying NRHP document (linked in article) are taken by two NPS employees, hence public domain and can be used. Two historic photos may be old enough to be public domain, too. Search NPS focus here, please select the highest resolution JPG versions
New photos would be helpful.

I just added two photos from 2005 that I myself took. They do well to give readers a better idea of what the place looks like, I think. --Slothus (talk) 12:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from "Camp Robinson"[edit]

Hi,

I notice that when you search "Camp Robinson", there is a redirect to this page "Fort Robinson". Please note that there is already a "Camp Robinson" page and by redirecting, you are not allowing the search results for a legitimate page.

Rename article to Fort Robinson (Nebraska)[edit]

May we rename this article to distinguish it from the newly-created Fort Robinson (Pennsylvania)? Cmacauley (talk) 23:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good question! I think Template:Distinguish is the right call here. See (Wikipedia:Hatnote) and (Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Primary topic). In this case, since Fort Robinson (Nebraska) is both a National Historic Landmark and a state park, I would argue it's the primary topic. Chevsapher (talk) 02:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
